guy has been raking but what does everyone think will happen when (if) Beltran comes back?does he continue to play mostly everyday (over francouer?) or just platoon a few days a weekalso will he hit 2nd still or drop down in the order limiting Runs/SB potential?

B-Chad wrote:Pedroia's LD rate of 20% is reason to believe he'll maintain a higher BA then Cano. It should also be noted he hits more FB's then Cano, which means that even if he posts a lower HR/FB then Cano, he should come in reasonably close to Cano in HR's

Beltran will be back. Pagan's PT is likely to decrease a bit at that point. Probably starts 4-5 games a week, likely more if Beltran can't play CF. Beltran won't be a full time player for at least a month.

Personally, I'd like to see Beltran playing CF 4-5 games a week, Pagan playing CF 2 games a week, and Pagan/Francoeur platooning in RF with Pagan starting against RH'ers.
